Does anyone know if there is any Linux equivalent to the Sonar component of Steelseries GG? The things I find useful from it are the multiple channel audio mixer with a virtual sound card for each channel. This is so useful for me because I use my Bose QC Ultra headphones for gaming along with a blue yeti mic. Only problem is that because the headphones are BT when I use them in a game with voice chat without doing this, they always seem to get forced into headset mode rather than headphones. Which makes the game audio come out mono, making it sound terrible. With Sonar it always kept audio devices no matter what I was doing, like it would auto switch if I turned my headphones on or off, and I could even do things like send voice chat output from games to the chat virtual sound card rather than the gaming one, so it got processed differently.

On top of this there were the nice to haves, parametric EQ, virtual surround, per game audio profiles etc. But the main thing I need really is the audio mixing, virtual sound card management and I guess the EQ maybe.

TL;DR I made a script to launch Cheat Engine in a way that should allow it to properly attach to games running via Proton. You can find it here: https://github.com/Mkeefeus/ProtonCELaunch/releases/latest

I was trying to spawn in an Elden Ring file using Cheat Engine, but every time I attached to the process the table would fail to properly load the games memory. After pouring through Reddit posts and discord servers, I saw people using Steam Tinker Launch with some success. Unfortunately, STL dropped support for CE with version 12 (for good reason). While using version 11 did work, it did not play nice with the Elden Ring Reforged mod my friends and I were playing.

Eventually, I took a look through the old STL source code and saw how they were doing it, and made a script to replicate it. After a little trial and error, it worked, and I wanted to share it here so the next person with my problem might find a solution.

The script automatically detects your installed games and their Proton version. Just point it to your Cheat Engine files, select the game, and you should be good to go. I can't guarantee it will work in every situation, CE is not designed to be running in Linux in the first place, but it fixed my Elden Ring problem and hopefully it helps someone else in the future.

Looking to build a gaming PC with the 9800X3D and RX 9070XT but not sure what motherboard to get. My initial plan was to dual boot Bazzite or CachyOS with Windows 10 till I get better acquainted with Linux. I'd like to avoid compatibility issues on the Linux side.

I was leaning toward getting one of the MSI MAG Tomahawk motherboards, the B850 or X870E. But I've read that WIFI 7 isn't supported on Windows 10 on the latest boards and that intel network chips are better supported on Linux vs Realtek and others. The B650 version is an option but they still use Realtek for networking. I could also just use 11 over 10 on the Windows side of things but was hoping to avoid 11.

While I won't rely on WIFI 100% of the time, there are times I move my PC somewhere I can't use a wired connection.

So wondering if I am overthinking things and should go with one of the three MSI MAG Tomahawks or if there is something that works better with one of the two Linux distros I plan on using.

Main features I need for my motherboard is the ability to use 3 or 4 NVMEs without affecting the GPU if possible, and a SPDIF optical for my speaker setup. Otherwise I just want whatever will give me the least amount of headaches for Linux.

Open to AXT and mATX, I did find a B850 board, the Gigabyte B850M AORUS Elite WiFi6E but it only has two M.2s. But it is cheaper than the MSI boards I was looking at. I also probably wouldn't benefit from WIFI 7 or 5g Ethernet any time soon as I am still on DSL. Chances are if I move I doubt my internet will get faster as I would probably get further away from the cities.

So hoping someone steer me in the right direction and give me some recommendations.

I ran into an issue yesterday where ATS didn't want to use my discrete graphics and I ended up having to set the DRI_PRIME and MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT variables in the Steam launch options for it, but I'd much rather add a couple of lines to user_settings.py, or something similar to doing that, and forget about it instead of doing this on a per game basis whenever it pops up. Try as I might, I could not find any way to do this, so I'm making a post to see if someone who knows more than me might have a way I can do that. I'm currently using the iGPU to run a couple of secondary displays and would like to keep doing that, so disabling the iGPU in the BIOS isn't an option.

My laptop has a GTX 1060 Max-Q and an Intel i7 processor. Nvidia stopped supporting the drivers in October of this year. Does anyone have any recommendations for gaming distributions?

OK, to be very very clear, I am NOT looking for suggestions to use Heroic or Lutris or any other Wine type program.

I just want to know how to get this download https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/download to work in linux. I am just trying to download the windows file, not looking for advice on running anything.

Anytime I try to download it, the page just refreshes and I am assuming it is detecting I am on linux and refusing the download

Thanks very much

man i need help, i bought a new rtx 5060 expecting it to just work but apparently not, ive tried everything to install drivers for the card. I cant understand how to though if the card doesnt have display drivers to display anything.

my old 1070 works

Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

kernel 6.14.0-36-generic

so i guess my question is; how do i install drivers in either recovery mode CLI with the 5060 plugged in

or

how do i install the drivers using the 1070 beforehand to then shut down and use the 5060

bom, eu estou usando linux a duas semanas, e estou configurando tudo pouco a pouco (por isso o texto todo esta sem acentuacao,n~ao funciona ou o acento vem separado) e queria saber se tem como eu separar e automatizar o processo de iniciar um app como o navegador ja na gpu integrada, uso pc de mesa e tenho 2 monitores,um conectado a igpu, mas pelo que pesquisei so consigo fazer a troca clicando com botao direito, e pra mim nao atende para o que presciso (uso aplicativos que consomem bastante desempenho da placa, e uso o igpu para abrir os outros apps que nescessito

How to configure specific apps to use dedicated or integrated GPU?

Well, I've been using Linux for two weeks, and I'm configuring everything little by little (that's why the whole text is without accents, doesn't work, or the accent is separate). I wanted to know if there's a way to separate and automate the process of starting an app like the browser directly on the integrated GPU. I use a desktop PC and have two monitors, one connected to the integrated GPU, but from what I've researched, I can only switch by right-clicking, and that doesn't meet my needs (I use applications that consume a lot of GPU performance, and I use the integrated GPU to open the other apps I need).

Interesting thought, curious if and how it could work. I’ve recently seen people combining GPU’s with Lossless Scaling to increase FPS: https://youtu.be/v4uU7jOQuKo?si=_Ep6r8MZVsz88ZWU

Would this be possible with the BC-250’s?

Silly question, but would installing linux remove save files of games?
Mainly ask this because me and my friends have a BG3 playthrough going right now and I dont wanna accidentally destroy the save file.
If it were to destroy the save file could I somehow transfer the savefile while switching OSs?
